Learn how to perform Precision Sic attacks with Torgal in Final Fantasy XVI to unlock the A Fine Hound trophy. Master Torgal's combat abilities and timing.
Torgal, Clive's loyal wolf companion, becomes available as a combat ally after you reach the Fanning Embers main quest in Final Fantasy XVI. To unlock the "A Fine Hound" trophy, you need to successfully perform five Precision Sic attacks with Torgal. This guide explains how to execute these special attacks.
Torgal's Abilities:
- Sic: A ground-based attack that inflicts stagger (Will) damage.
- Ravage: An aerial melee attack that inflicts more damage to enemy HP.
- Heal: Heals Clive over time for a portion of his recoverable health (marked by a darker green on the HP bar).
Precision Sic and Precision Ravage attacks are special versions of Torgal's standard attacks that can be executed at the end of a combo. In the combat log, they appear as "Precision Sic" or "Precision Ravage" if timed correctly.
Precision Sic vs. Precision Ravage:
- Precision Sic: Inflicts more stagger (Will) damage.
- Precision Ravage: Inflicts more damage to enemy HP.
You can view Torgal's attributes and your progress with his attacks by pressing R1 in the Attributes menu.
How to Execute Precision Sic Attacks:
- After Knocking Back an Enemy: Clive knocks back an enemy, then quickly press the button for Torgal's Sic ability (ensure it's not set to Potions). If timed correctly, a Precision Sic will be registered.
- At the End of Clive's Combos: Execute a simple combo like four consecutive melee attacks (press the melee button four times). If Clive is not interrupted and the enemy is staggered, you can perform a Precision Sic by pressing the Sic button immediately after the combo. Other combos, like those involving Magic Burst or Limit Break, can also end with a Precision Sic if timed perfectly.
How to Identify a Successful Precision Sic:
- Torgal will glow red and often howl.
- Torgal will spin in the air towards the enemy.
- The animation may vary depending on the enemy's size and state (grounded or airborne).
- The timing is crucial; press the Sic button as soon as possible after the combo or enemy knockback.
- If you struggle with timing, you can equip the Ring of Timely Assistance. This accessory automatically executes Torgal's attacks at the right time, but you lose control over which specific attack is performed.
- You only need to successfully land five Precision Sic attacks to unlock the "A Fine Hound" trophy.
